01History

Pre-debut

In the latter part of December 2021, Cornerstone Entertainment announced their first boy group under their management consisting of C13, Sam, Franz, Vince, and Patrick. The group's lineup included members with prior experience in the entertainment industry. C13 previously appeared on the South Korean reality competition program Under Nineteen using his original name, Christian, and made his solo debut in 2021. Sam made his acting debut in 2019's Starla and appeared in several TV series, including Oh, Mando! and Wheel of Love: Weekend to Remember. Franz joined the first season of The Voice Kids. Vince and Patrick were both regulars in local performance competitions.

2022-2023: Debut with "The Beast" and career beginnings

VXON released their debut single "The Beast" on January 7, 2022. The song is produced by C13 and Korean music producer Knockloud, while the choreography is created by Matt Padilla of the Philippine All Stars and South Korea's Kim Tae-hoon of 1Million Dance Studio and The Bips. On April 1, the group released their second single "P.S", which is co-written by C13, Franz, and Sam. In the same month, the group performed at the inaugural edition of PPOPCON, alongside other P-pop groups like SB19, Bini, and Kaia. The group also released several soundtracks for different shows, such as "Reach the Top" in July for TV5's reality competition Top Class: Rise To P-Pop Stardom and "Luv Is" with Zephanie in August for GMA Network's TV series of the same title. In September 2022, VXON was announced as Realme's first P-pop group ambassador, coinciding with the release of their third single "Fiyaah", which incorporates English, Filipino, and Spanish. The song achieved local and international success, reaching top positions on iTunes charts in the United Arab Emirates and the Philippines. In October, the group collaborated with Jonathan Manalo and released a remake of the single "Ikaw Na Na Na" originally performed by Gimme 5.

On January 1, 2023, VXON was honored by the TAG Awards Chicago as the 2022 Band of the Year (Bronze), alongside SB19 and Ben&Ben, who received gold and silver, respectively. In the same month, the group also released their fourth single "Dulo", marking their first anniversary in the industry. In February 2023, VXON won in Nylon Manila's Big Bold Brave Awards 2023 as the Favorite Rookie P-pop Group. The group also released several singles, "Breaking Bad" in March, "Pretty Please" in June, and "Lisan" and "Sandal" in August and September, respectively.

On January 26, 2024, the group released their first studio album titled 20:20. The album comprises nine songs, including the lead tracks "SSP (Saksak sa Puso)" and "Kalaw", as well as previously released tracks "Lisan" and "Sandal".
